Top attractions in Bolivia

Bolivia is the highest country in South America by average elevation, and that defines travel here: La Paz spreads across a canyon above 3,600 metres, Lake Titicaca sits higher still, and the Uyuni salt flat — the largest in the world — is the single most photographed destination.

The guides on this page cover Bolivia as a whole. Altitude sickness is a genuine planning factor, and arriving directly into La Paz from sea level is harder than arriving via Peru or Santa Cruz. Uyuni changes completely with season: the dry months give a cracked white surface, while the rainy season, roughly December to March, floods it into a mirror but limits access.
